library missing when installing MySQL



Hi all,
I followed this guide
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/page3.html
so I could get my newly installed debian machine up and running with some
mysql, php and apache servers...

I downloaded the sources, unpacked the mysql-source cd´ed to the new
directory and typed:
'./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql'.

Everything seemed to go smoothly until I suddenly got this:

checking for tgetent in -lncurses ... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses ... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap ... no
checking for termcap functions library ... error: configure: no
curses/termcap library found

So, what I tried first was to install a binary, but that gave me some other
errors later on, so eventually I simply reinstalled the entire OS and
started all over again.
But sadly, I now get the above-mentioned error again...

What am I missing? how do I get on? What are termcaps all about anyway??

Thanx in advance :-)

/Henrik
